Comment on Biden to defy Supreme Court in second attempt at sweeping student loan handout

The rich do pay their fair share as I’ve cited many times. I talk about spending cuts all the time.

Not only do the rich, not fathom as taxes, they definitely shouldn’t get a tax cut because they clearly benefit the most from the system and allowing them to earn the most.
And you certainly haven’t cited anything with regards to your claims with me.

As measured of their total income. I’d like to see a cite otherwise. 50% of tax payers don’t even pay taxes. The top 5% pays around 90%
I’ve cited numerous times on here. I can cite again if you really think everyone else is paying more taxes.

Not only did you make the original claim that the richest people pay the most in taxes, which makes it your obligation to back that up with a citation, the rest of what you said here also needs to be backed up by citations from reputable sources.
Go on then
